Do I really have to use a finally: block? It feels rather clumsy.
You don't. Provided the "handle any other error" part reraises or does a
break/continue, so as to skip the bottom of the loop body.
ok = true
for dirname in listofdirs:
try:
os.mkdir(dirname)
except FileExistsError:
pass
except Exception as e:
warning("mkdir(%r): %s", dirname, e)
ok = False
continue
rest of the loop body ...
if not ok:
... not all directories made ...
2 notes on the above:
- catching Exception, not a bare except (which catches a rather broader
suit of things)
- reporting the other exception
